Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

The wind stopped, the rain stopped, and you feel you can do it again. This is what the queen mother said. When she heard that the princess wanted to marry, she threw the emperor's warning behind her.

"The Dongyi Kingdom's willingness to form a marriage alliance with Daxia is a great blessing for the imperial court. The Crown Prince and Princess of Zhenbei are naturally willing to prioritize the greater good...right?"

Ha ha,

Stupid old woman, I dare to agree, but does the emperor dare?

Xiao Yunxi: Why don’t you agree to give it a try?

Zhou Jin: I mean if.

Stupid people can only see what is in front of them, while smart people can see further. Nanako asked for a marriage, and the person she wanted to marry was Zhou Jin, who was already engaged.

She was trying to sow discord, but the Queen Mother was too stupid to see it and even came out to embarrass herself.

The emperor was afraid of Zhou Jin and did not want Dabao to be emperor. If he betrothed Princess Dongyi to Zhou Jin, wouldn't that lead to internal and external troubles and cause trouble for himself?

"Dongyi Nation wants a marriage alliance, and I will naturally choose a prince of the right age. Marriage is based on fate. The Crown Prince of Zhenbei Marquis is already engaged, so Nanako, please don't force it."

He refused decisively, without giving the Queen Mother any face. Verbal warnings were useless to this old woman. After the banquet, His Majesty put a neck brace on him.

"Today, the concubine of the Marquis of Zhenbei has won merit in the competition. I personally grant a marriage between Xiao Yunxi and the Marquis of Zhenbei. The wedding will take place at the end of the month. After the wedding, she will be granted a second-rank imperial decree and will not have to kneel when she sees me."

"According to military rules, the spoils won in the competition, excluding the warships, will go to the Crown Prince's wife for 4%. You will be the first to choose."

The emperor generously waved his hand and gave 40% of the reward to Xiao Yunxi. He even conferred the title of Consort on her in advance, which was enough to show his inner joy.

The 10 main battleships greatly enhanced the strength of the imperial navy, and the spoils worth tens of millions of silver were added to the private treasury, which filled his face, money and wallet.

Xiao Yunxi was also in a good mood, and bowed obediently:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

She wasn't interested in spices or battlefields; she wanted rubber and diamonds.

The banquet continued, and people continued dancing to the music, but the envoys from the three countries were a little listless.

Li Zhibo slumped in his chair, looking as if he had lost his parents.

Not only did he lose two ships of cargo, he also lost the 80 taels given by the family, and he still had a shortfall of 70 taels. This time he was really doomed.

Songpala was still relatively calm. It was true that he felt sad about the loss of millions of goods, but he had not yet lost his mind. He was considering whether to wade into the muddy waters of the Dongyi Kingdom.

The most annoyed person was Nanako. Who could have thought that Xiao Yunxi would win all three games?

The loss of 10 main battleships by the Dongyi Kingdom was not a big deal. It could be delayed until the fighting in the southwest broke out, and Daxia would have no time to deal with it.

The key issue is that Li Zhibo is desperate. If we can't help him overcome the difficulties, who knows what will happen.

The envoys had different thoughts. The people in Daxia were very happy. Everyone was discussing Xiao Yunxi. The eldest princess was so angry that she bit off two of her back teeth.

"What a bullshit princess, she's just an idiot!"

"You can't even handle Xiao Yunxi, you deserve to lose!"

Xiao Yunxi won and received rewards, and her future mother-in-law Shen Shumo also became a hot commodity.

"Sister Shen, I'll come to your house tomorrow and introduce your future daughter-in-law to me."

"You've married a great daughter-in-law. She's simply amazing!"

"I'll go to your house for tea tomorrow. Everyone, bring your juniors so we can get to know each other. My little girl is timid, so let Yunxi teach her."

If someone tells you to meet again another day, it is most likely just a polite remark. If someone says see you tomorrow, it definitely means they really want to see you.

At the end of the banquet, several sisters who had a good relationship with Shen Shumo made an appointment to meet the next day, while those who had a lesser relationship sent visiting cards hoping to get closer.

The scenery is infinite.

This made Shen Shumo not hate Xiao Yunxi so much.

Shen Shumo, the future mother-in-law, is also blessed with this, so Xiao Yunxi, the person involved, is naturally even more glorious.

She won the emperor's favor, the respect of the ministers, and the admiration of many female relatives, especially the younger generation of women from military families.

The glory of a military family depends on male offspring. Girls are usually taught by their parents to play music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and write poetry and songs so that they can marry into a good family in the future.

How can I be content when I have the blood of a military commander in my bones?

In the past, when people used Qin Lan as an example, parents would say that there is only one General Lan in the world and no one can copy her.

What now?

Xiao Yunxi's performance makes her the second General Lan. Who says women can't achieve great things and defend their country?

"Sister Yunxi, this is my visiting card."

"Princess, let's exchange martial arts when we have time."

"General Xiao, if you have the chance in the future, you can form a female army and we can go to the battlefield and fight side by side..."

Young people extended olive branches to her one after another. Most of them were girls, but there were also a few young men in love. They ran up to her with red faces to talk to her.

"Cousin, you have to work hard."

"If you don't work harder, your wife will be chased away by someone else."

Xu Chengzhi and Shen Cong gloated over the misfortune and made sarcastic remarks. Zhou Jin pursed his lips and strode forward.

"Let's go back."

Zhou Jin boldly grabbed Xiao Yunxi's hand to assert his sovereignty. The young man who was talking to Xiao Yunxi blushed so much that blood could drip out of his face and ran away shyly.

“…”

Oh, what should I do if the innocent little boys are scared away?

"They're gone, but you still don't let go."

"Hold my wife, why should I loosen up?"

Xiao Yunxi was taken home by Zhou Jin.

Dabao, Xiaobao and Niuniu are staying at the Queen's place today. The two of them suddenly hold hands, and the atmosphere is a little ambiguous to the point of being sticky and stringy.

"Would you like to eat something?"

"it is good."

The moment they let go of each other's hands, both of them felt a sense of emptiness. The woman's hands were so soft, while the man's hands were quite warm.

A grill was set up in the yard, and Zhou Jin put the marinated meat on skewers. When the skewers were grilled, a strong meaty aroma came out, and both of them swallowed their saliva.

I was so busy competing at the banquet that I didn't eat much, so I'm really hungry now.

While they were enjoying their meal, Zhou Da came to report that the transaction with Liuli was completed, the money had been received, and the people who wanted to rob the cheaters had been killed.

But there is one strange thing. It seems that there are more than one group of people who want to rob each other.

Prince Chu's Palace,

The Second Prince, who had just returned from the banquet, was furious when he heard that Liuli had been robbed.

"waste!"

"We sent so many people, but they couldn't even protect Liuli. What's the point of having you?"

"waste!"

Zhao Zhen was already in a bad mood.

Xiao Yunxi shined at the banquet, and the eldest princess talked to him privately about many bad things. He was still in a bad mood, which was simply adding fuel to the fire.

"Where's the black robe? Let him come see me!"

"Your Highness, he and the guards were seriously injured and have been in a coma since returning."

“…”

He sent out so many Plum Blossom Guards and so many personal bodyguards, but only two came back, and their things were stolen?

Zhao Zhen was about to call them useless, but when he thought about the unknown fate of the man in black robe and the guards, he thought that if he continued to curse, the other subordinates would be disheartened, so he swallowed his curse words.

"Keep a close eye on the market. Arrest anyone selling glass."

He just didn't believe it. After stealing Liuli, wouldn't he sell it?
